Re: Door striker adjustment

I didn't know 1600s had the same rear striker plate as a Z. Is the lock mechanism the same??? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 3:56 AM Subject: Re: Door striker adjustment Bob, First be sure the striker plate(which bolts to the  B pillar) is not worn too much, if it is its very hard to get the door to shut properly, and when it does it will rattle.You can tell by looking at the groove which locates the door of it is oval or noticeably marked it wont work well. This seems to be the main problem,it is possible to build it up with weld and refinish it but  you can find a good spare from the rear doors of a 1600, or on an early pick-up as they are the same as a Z and seem to get less wear and tear as the doors are lighter and used less (depending on the car). Assuming  everythings ok, loosen the bolts and make sure the orig. shims are still there then tighten them so you can just move things with your hands and close the door slowly, this should give you a base to work from, also be sure the doors mechanism is tight and has a little grease to help it out.
